Corner Cabinet - double door gap problem
I'm trying to add a double door to this corner cabinet and have specified a .0625 double door gap. The actual gap seems to be much more then .0625. Is this an optical allusion or when I order my doors, based on eCabs specifications, am I going to have a problem?

Don, if you take it to the LDE, and rotate it 270 degrees so your looking at the bottom, zoom in on the doors and press M to show the nodes the gap is indeed 1/16". It is the profile cut that is widening the gap. Maybe try a negative door gap and see if that will work.

Thanks Rick!
I hadn't figured on the edge profile causing this illusion. I'm going to try the negative gap idea and see what happens.
